All 13 known woodcuts of Wolf Huber were executed in the very short period between 1510 and 1520 and are all extremely rare. Wolf Huber is considered the most important artist of the Danube School beside Albrecht Altdorfer. One of his outstanding characteristics is the handling of the landscape, a quality which is very nicely shown in the present print. Brilliant and very clear early impression of this print with almost fully visible borderline. From an old collection volume, window-mounted. (37003). CHF 35'000.-
